How to solve locale problem in Debian (console)?

Question

Debian

Greetings.
For an hour I have been reading manuals and solutions, but none of them fit. I am not a system administrator. Therefore, I may not understand something.
Debian locale issue. I want to through Putty, there I select UTF8 in the encoding tab.

uname -a
Linux loc 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Did the following

dpkg-reconfigure locales
Generating locales (this might take a while)...
  de_DE.UTF-8... done
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  ru_RU.UTF-8... done
Generation complete

dpkg-reconfigure console-cyrillic
I set the parameters like this

What virtual consoles do you use?                           -->  /dev/tty[1-6]
Choose the keyboard layout                                  -->  Russian
Toggling between Cyrillic and Latin characters              -->  Caps Lock
Switching temporarily between Cyrillic and Latin characters -->  No temporary switch
Choose a font for the console.                              -->  UniCyr
What is your favourite font size?                           -->  14
What is your encoding?                                      -->  UNICODE
Do you want to setup Cyrillic on the console at boot-time?  -->  Yes

In the file /etc/default/locale

#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8

Everything is done as they write everywhere.
I re-login. I do

locale

LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

As a result

But if the locale is set as
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
something everything is normally translated. But it is the Russian locale that is needed.

Answer 1

Try:

sudo locale-gen
sudo update-locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=POSIX

I urge to post @inkvizitor68sl

Answer 2

Change the font. By analogy: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fonts#Console...

Answer 3

Try changing the font in putty to the Lucida Console to begin with (type, font). If it doesn't help, then it's easier to get in there and see than to guess here)
Well, in general, use sourceforge.net/projects/sshwindows/files/OpenSSH%... openssh. Install it, open cmd.exe, write ssh [email protected] into it, and get into ssh)

Answer 4

Try in PuTTY in the Translation tab select KOI8-R
